They both have similar desires--to see the end of the war. Harbin's Craving, however, makes it difficult to focus on what she needs because of what he wants. He wants her. Plain and simple. He cannot get her out of his mind. Then an explosion changes everything. Bianca hides on the icy rock of Sol-1, with Harbin. The frigid temperatures leave them both physically close to one another to keep her safe. A true test for Harbin's Craving, for certain. And when others show up attempting to attack Bianca, Harbin must do everything in his programming to keep her safe. Even if it means sacrificing himself. If you love sci-fi romance, space opera, war in the stars, Terrans, princesses, and cybernetic enhanced humans, you'll love this series about these cyborgs and their human females.

The Perfect Royal Mistress by Diane Haeger Pdf

Born into poverty and raised in a brothel, Nell Gwynne sells oranges in the pit at London’s King’s Theater, newly reopened after the plague and the Great Fire devastated the city. Soon, her quick sense of humor and natural charm get her noticed by those who have the means to make her life easier. But the street-smart Nell knows a woman doesn’t get ahead by selling her body. Through talent, charm, intelligence, and sheer determination—as well as a keen understanding of how the world operates—Nell works her way out of the pit and onto the stage to become the leading comedic actress of the day. Her skills and beauty quickly win the attention of all of London—eventually even catching the eye of King Charles II. Their attraction is as real as it is unlikely, and the scrappy orange girl with the pretty face and the quick wit soon finds herself plunged into the confusing and dangerous world of the court, where she learns there are few she can trust—and many whom she cannot turn her back on. From the gritty streets of seventeenth-century London, to the backstage glamour of its theaters, to the glittering court of Charles II, The Perfect Royal Mistress is a love story for the ages, the rags-to-riches tale of a truly remarkable heroine.
